WOCK 4 will likely be a major source of frustration if you actually do receive it. Be prepared for frequent digital break-up due to the interference prone nature of that low frequency. You may get lucky, but not worth having a large full band antenna for that one maybe/probably not channel IMO. A good medium sized VHF-Hi/UHF combo should get you all the reliably receivable channels in your area .

Digital channels 2, 3 & 4 are horrible, 5 & 6 are somewhat better, but only with a powerful transmitter). You are too far away & the broadcast power is just too low.

A quote from the extremely knowledgeable Trip Ericson pretty much sums up Lo VHF.

"Low band. Great for DXing. Terrible if you actually want to watch something".
